body to the House of Representatives to hear the biennial message of His
Excellency, Governor Bickett, and the Governor, escorted by the Special
Joint Committee heretofore appointed, came forward and delivered the fol-
lowing message:
Governor's Final Message to the General Assembly of 1921
Lady and Gentlemen of the General Assembly:
It would be a violation of the proprieties of this occasion for me to attempt
any discussion of the big problems that confront this General Assembly.
That is at once the right and the responsibility of the Governor-elect. I do
not propose to review my own administration. What is written is written,
and will, in the fullness of time, be fairly appraised by the calm judgment of
history. The sole claim that I make for myself and for the woman who has
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 11
walked and worked by my side is that in peace and in war we have diligently
endeavored to use our position as a lever to lift the State to higher levels,
and as a light to lead the people into more excellent ways.
There are a few subjects so intimately connected with my administration
that a last word from me with reference to these would seem to be entirely
in order.
THE LABORER IS WORTHY OF HIS HIRE
I think you will all agree that North Carolina is too big and too rich to
ask or allow men to work for the State for less than a living wage. The
standard salary paid State officers is $3,500.00. We will assume that such
an officer has a wife and three children. Certainly it would be against public
policy to encourage him to have fewer. Such an officer would be fortunate
if he could find a comfortable home in the city of Raleigh for a rental of
$1,000 a year. His bills for fuel, water, lights, and telephone will easily
amount to $25 a month. He ought to be allowed one servant, and the
minimum sum for which a servant can be employed is $7.50 a week. The
head of a State department is called on to pay at least $300 a year for the
support of religion and charity. He cannot look his neighbors or himself in
the face and pay less. His fire and life insurance will cost him $300 a year.
To maintain the health of himself and family he ought to be allowed a two
weeks vacation, and this will cost at least $200. He is a lucky man if his
political expenses, inherent in the office, are not more than $100 a year. The
expenses above enumerated amount to $2,590 a year. This leaves to a State
officer $910 a year with which to pay for food, clothing, furniture, doctors'
bills, and the education of his children. Such a policy is as unwise as it is
unjust: A State officer cannot do constructive thinking, he cannot give to
the people the most and the best there is in him, when every morning he is
tormented with the problem of how to make buckle and tongue meet. I
respectfully submit that the salaries of the heads of State departments should
be increased to $5,000 a year. I have felt impelled to discuss this question
because whatever is done with respect to our constitutional officers must be
done during my administration, but the facts given apply with equal force
to statutory departments.
THE SHORT BALLOT
While upon the subject of State officers, I cannot refrain from reiterating
and emphasizing the views expressed in my inaugural address, and in my
message to the General Assembly of 1919, to the effect that all administrative
officers should be appointed by the Governor. Every consideration of intelli-
gence and efficiency is in favor of the short ballot. The men who have given
thought to the subject all think alike. The only arguments against the
proposition are political arguments, utterly unsupported by any sound busi-
ness principle. So far as administrative offices are concerned, the State is
simply a big business corporation, and there is not a big business in the
world where the heads of the departments are elected by thousands of stock-
holders. These are always appointed by the president of the corporation or
by an executive board. This General Assembly would do the State a fine
service if it should submit to the people a constitutional amendment provid-
12 SENATE JOURNAL [Session
ing for the appointment rather than the election of administrative officers.
A primary properly safeguarded is the best way to select the candidate for
Governor. Let the people have the fullest opportunity to- declare their will
in the selection of the candidate and in the subsequent general election, and
then let the Governor so selected and elected use his own judgment in the
selection of his executive staff, and hold him rigidly responsible for results.
Much has been said about giving the Governor the veto power. Possibly
this would be wise, but the moral power of the Governor of North Carolina in
shaping legislation is tremendous. During this administration I have sub-
mitted forty-eight specific measures to the General Assembly. Forty of
these were acted upon favorably by the General Assembly, and are today the
law of the land. The veto power is of minor importance compared with
giving the Governor the right to name his own lieutenants.
TRUE MOBILITY
The Special Session of the General Assembly of 1920 authorized me to
appoint a commission to investigate and make report of what the State
ought to do to better the physical, moral, and mental status of the negroes
of the State. I appointed Mr. W. N. Everett, Mr. G. V. Cowper, Mr. L. R.
Varser, Prof. G. S. Atkins, and Dr. J. E. Moore. These men have made
their report, in which they strongly urge the establishment of a sanatorium
for the treatment of negroes afflicted with tuberculosis, a reformatory for
delinquent negro boys, a larger and more liberal system of teacher training
for negroes, and has called upon the Corporation Commission to exercise
the authority it already has to require equal accommodations for negroes and
whites on the trains.
So impressed was the Budget Commission with the justice and the sanity
of this report that it has fully endorsed the same and made provision for
carrying it out. In the name of the God and Father of us all, I beg you to
endorse this act of true nobility, and carry out a program supported by both
Christianity and common sense.
THE TRUTH ON THE TAX BOOKS
The sole purpose of the Revaluation Act was to make the tax books of
North Carolina speak the truth. If at any time the tax books fail to tell
the truth, then the spirit of the Revaluation Act is violated. Let it never
be forgotten that the Revaluation Act is always and everywhere seeking after
the truth. The truth gave it birth, and the truth dominated its administra-
tion. This same spirit of truth now calls for a revision of the real estate
values that were determined as of May 1, 1919. World-wide conditions have
paralyzed the markets for our staple crops, and this is of necessity reflected
in the value of the lands that produced these crops. The value should be
revised to meet actual conditions. But this revision should be made along
constructive and not destructive lines. The safest and sanest way to make
the revision is to call upon the men who made these assessments to revise
their work in view of the changed conditions. These men could do the
work with maximum intelligence and at a minimum expenditure of time
and money. In this connection I call attention to the very able report of
the State Tax Commission which deals with this subject, and desire to give
to that report my hearty and unqualified endorsement.
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 13
A WORD OF FAREWELL
This concludes my message and marks the end of the last chapter of my
public services to the State of North Carolina. Before closing the book I
desire to express to you and through you to the people whose representatives
you are, my gateful appreciation of the innumerable courtesies and kind-
nesses shown me during these four years. I want to register my everlasting
gratitude for being permitted to serve a great State and through her all
humanity in the grandest and most tragic hour the world has ever known.
During these years all the tides of life have been at the flood, and I have
boxed the compass of human emotions. It has been a rich and deep expe-
rience. It is today to me a benediction, and down to old age will continue
a blessed inspiration.
I shall carry with me from the office many sweet and glorious memories,
but the one memory that will forever outshine them all is of the eighty
thousand sons of Carolina who at their country's call marched forth to fight
and die for God and for humanity. Lest we forget, I write it down in this
last chapter and certify to all the generations that the one stupendous,
immortal thing connected with this administration is the part North Caro-
lina played in the world war. Everything done in the field of taxation, of
education, of agriculture, of mercy to the fallen, of the physical and social
regeneration of our people — all of it is but "a snowflake on the river" in
the gigantic and glorified presence of the eighty thousand men who plunged
into the blood-red tide of war. Of these eighty thousand men, two thousand
three hundred and thirty-eight "went west" — far beyond the sunset's radiant
glow. I shall always be grateful to remember that I was some time their
Captain and always their comrade in the Great Adventure; and my fervent
prayer is that when my summons comes and for me
"The sunset gates unbar,
I shall see them waiting stand,
And white against the evening star
The welcome of their beckoning hand."
And now, my friends, farewell, good-bye, and may He give His angels
charge concerning you and Carolina!

MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
The following message is received from the Governor:
Gentlemen of the General Assembly :
I transmit herewith the report of the Budget Commission as required by
law.
With the report I send an appropriation bill and a bond bill to provide
the funds for the permanent improvements recommended by the Commis-
sion. This is also in compliance with the statute.
This is the first Budget Bill ever reported to a General Assembly in North
Carolina, and for this reason the Commission has endeavored to stay strictly
"within the law."
We have made the report as brief as possible consistent with thoroughness,
and venture to hope that it will prove helpful to the General Assembly in
the solution of the problems with which the report deals.
January 11th, 1921 T. W. Bickett,
Governor.
The message, with the accompanying documents, is referred to the Com-
mittee on Appropriations.
Senator Burgwyn of Northampton is permitted to introduce out of order
the following bill:
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 29
By Senator Burgwyn of Northampton: S. B. 43, A bill to abolish the
office of county superintendent of welfare for Northampton County.
Referred to Committee on Propositions and Grievances.
Senator Long of Alamance moves that at the hour of 11:45 the Senate
take a recess until 4 o'clock p. m. for the purpose of meeting the House in
Joint Session in the city auditorium.
The motion is adopted.
It is ordered that a message be sent to the House of Representatives
advising that honorable body that the Senators will meet the members of
the House in the vestibule at 11:45 o'clock a. m. to proceed to the inaugural
ceremonies at the city auditorium.
The Lieutenant-Governor announces that, in accordance with law, the per-
sons declared elected on yesterday in accordance with the Joint Resolution
of the Senate and House of Representatives, will be sworn into office at the
city auditorium.
JOINT SESSION
The Senate rises and proceeds to the city auditorium, where a joint session
of ihe Senate and House of Representatives is called to order by Lieutenant-
Governor O. Max Gardner for the installation of the newly elected State
officers.
The following State officers-elect are presented by Senator DeLaney of
Mecklenburg, chairman of the Inaugural Committee, and the oath of office
is administered to them by Associate Justice Piatt D. Walker, in turn as
follows:
Mitchell L. Shipman, Commissioner of Labor and Printing.

elect Morrison, and the oath of office is administered by Chief Justice Clark
of the Supreme Court, and Governor Morrison thereupon delivers his
inaugural address.
The business for which the Joint Assembly convened having been ac-
complished, the Senate returns to its chamber at 4 o'clock p. m. and proceeds
with its business.
President pro tempore Long of Halifax calls the retiring President of the
Senate, 0. Max Gardner, to the Chair, when he delivers his farewell address
as presiding officer of this body, as follows:
"It has been my good fortune to serve in the capacity of senator, president
pro tempore and presiding officer in six assemblies of the North Carolina
State Senate. In a moment my official relations with this General Assembly
30 SENATE JOURNAL [Session
will be terminated. Before my successor takes his seat I crave your final
indulgence, not to pronounce a formal valedictory or pessimistic lamentation,
but to bid you an official and affectionate goodbye.
"My short association as your presiding officer during this term has been
delightfully congenial and happy, and has served to insinuate each of you
into the warmest affection of my heart.
"In the range and vicissitudes of my life I think I have mixed and mingled
with all the types and elements that compose our composite citizenship. I
fancy that I know North Carolina pretty well, having touched her life in
almost every county, city, town, hamlet, and village throughout the length
and breadth of our State, but it would be a most difficult task if I would
undertake to approximate, an accurate picture of a typical North Carolinian.
How would you describe such a person? What manner of man is he?
"If through the alchemy of condensation we could blend, fuse and con-
solidate the combined character, ability, vision, weakness, and strength of
this General Assembly and divide the mass into 170 component parts, each
separate, human, unit would possess most nearly the splendid attributes of
body, heart, and mind of a typical North Carolinian, and at the same time,
reveal the truest possible type of a real American! For, after all, North
Carolina in her racial integrity and Anglo-Saxon purity is the embodiment
and incarnation of true America and genuine Americanism.
"Some cynic has said that 'if a traveler wishes to relish his dinner he
had better not go into the kitchen to see where it is cooked, and if any
man wishes to respect and obey the laws of his State he had better not go
into the Legislature to see where his laws are cooked.' The person who
delivered this stricture knew nothing about the wholesomeness and sanita-
tions of the Legislative Kitchen of North Carolina, and my answer to his
reflection is that the more intimately I have become associated with those
who have molded and shaped North Carolina State policy, the greater has
become my respectful admiration for the unselfish and exalted purpose of
North Carolina legislators.
"In my extended experience in the General Assembly I can truthfully and
proudly say that I have never known a member of the North Carolina Legis-
lature, Republican or Democrat, who was even suspected, directly or in-
directly, of bribery or corruption in the performance of a public duty. It is
quite possible that there are deliberative bodies of greater learning, deeper
insight and broader vision than is possessed by the average North Carolina
General Assembly. To be frank, I think there are, but I challenge the rep-
resentative assemblies and parliaments of the world to surpass North Caro-
lina in the homely and fundamental virtues of common honesty, common
decency, and common sense — the three essentials of popular government that
will always keep clean and clear and unpolluted the channels of our boasted
civilization.
"If I were called upon to give a formula of action for a successful legisla-
tive career I would condense it into a liberal interpretation of these four
comprehensive words: Confidence, concert, construction, and consecration.
Plant yourselves firmly upon these four pillars of political faith; and
though the winds may blow and the storms may rage, your destiny and the
destiny of your State will rest secure."
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 31
He then names Senators Burgwin of New Hanover and Williams of Wilson
to escort the Lieutenant-Governor-elect, Hon. W. B. Cooper, to the Chair.
Senator Long of Alamance offers the following resolution, which is adopted
by a unanimous rising vote:
"Resolved, That the thanks of the Senate be extended to Honorable 0. Max
Gardner, retiring President of the Senate, for the ability, impartiality
and fairness with which he has presided over the deliberations of this body
during his term of office as Lieutenant-Governor and President, and
"Be It Further Resolved That on his return to private life this body
extends to the Honorable O. Max Gardner its most sincere wishes for his
future happiness and prosperity and looks forward with enthusiastic antici-
pation to his early return to public life in the State he loves so well."
Upon motion of Senator Winborne, the address of Senator Burgwyn of
Northampton in eulogy of the retiring President is ordered incorporated in
the Journal, as follows:
Senators:
The time has come when 0. Max Gardner, who has presided over the
deliberations of this body -for the past four years, with becoming dignity and
fairness, will surrender the gavel to his successor in office.
Elevated to this high position of trust by the unanimous choice of the
militant democracy of North Carolina, he has made himself felt along all
forward lines of legislation, and has materially aided in the progress and
welfare of the State. He has by absolute fidelity to duty and devotion to the
cause of the people, made himself, at once, the friend of the unfortunate
and the champion of all those who are struggling upward for nobler deeds
and greater achievements. He is the undisputed leader of the young
democracy of North Carolina. From the rugged mountains of the West to
the fertile plains of the East, the young democracy stands, not in an unbroken
line, but in solid plalanx, with their shields locked, awaiting for the call
of their leader. And with them stand the newly enfranchised women, who
love him for the fight he made for them, because they realize that in standing
four-square with them, in their efforts to secure the ballot, he probably lost
the great honor which his friends wished him to receive. And though he
realized that this might be the case, he never swerved or faltered in his
fight for them. But these friends, both women and men, love him all the
more for the fact that he never bent the pregnant hinges of the knee that
thrift might follow fawning. And they know that he rests secure in the
thought and knowledge that he retires to private life, for a brief season,
with the glorious truth that he kept every promise made and that "He never
sold the truth to save the hour, nor paltered with Eternal God for power."
That though he lost, it was a glorious defeat, and that in defeat he was as
great as he will be in victory. And that unlike Achilles, who sulked in his
tent, he aided his victorious opponent in the primary to gain the greatest
victory in the annals of the party in this State, in the general election.
Honest, true, strong and brave we see him leave the public forum with
sorrow, not for him but for the State. And we wait serene in the faith,

JOINT SESSION
In accordance with a joint resolution, passed by the Senate and House of
Representatives, the Senate proceeds in a body to the Hali of the House of
Representatives to hear the Governor's message, which is as follows:
Message of the Governor
To the Members of the General Assembly:
Having called your attention to the larger problems of the State in my
inaugural address and urged your attention to them in a manner which I
believe the people have authorized me as their spokesman to do, I now desire
your indulgence for some further and more particular recommendations upon
one of the subjects discussed in my inaugural address, of which I gave
notice on that occasion.
I refer to the subject of taxation for the support of the State government.
I believe I have been peculiarly authorized to speak for the people of the
State upon this most important subject, and I therefore speak with confidence
that I voice the carefully formed judgment of the people; we ought not to
levy any ad valorem taxation whatever for State purpose, and completely
release to the counties and towns and cities this source of taxation; but we
ought to levy sufficient taxation, other than ad valorem, to discharge the
high duties of a great and progressive State and to administer our State
government in rigid economy, though in unquestioned efficiency. Prolonged
discussion and consideration of the subject has resulted in a fixed judgment
by the people of this State that ad valorem taxation for State purposes is the
most difficult of all tax to levy and collect in equity and justice and that it
is also the most expensive to collect; that it is no longer necessary for State
purposes and that the counties and towns and special tax districts of the
State require all the revenue which can be justly and constitutionally levied
through ad valorem taxation upon the property of the State.
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 77
I do not deem it wise to occupy your time with argument and discussion,
because I feel sure that this question has been discussed for so long and
with such thoroughness that anything I could say would largely be repetition.
We now know that ad valorem taxation is a tax upon the principal property
of the people and that when levied by uniform rule it frequently bears most
burdensomely and unjustly upon those least able to pay. A tax upon
property necessarily reaches those, who by reason of age, infirmity, youth or
sex, have little earning capacity and although possessing some property,
need all the income to be derived from it upon which to live. These non-
earning classes, although small property holders, may have such sn^ll in-
comes that they are utterly unable to bear heavy taxation, and the State
must either tax them oppressively or decline to do many things which the
State ought to do and is fully able to do, rather than oppress the weak and
non-earning property owners with additional taxation. The tax which the
counties, towns, and cities and other communities will levy upon property,
the principal money of the people, will require all of the taxation which it is
either wise or just to levy upon property in this State. Government is be-
coming more and more expensive because it is properly doing more and
more to improve and protect the people. The necessary county and town
expenses are great, but the people from their local governments obtain more
benefits than in the past, and more than is received in any other country in
the world. It is, therefore, necessary, unless we are going to retard the
progress of our people, to allow the towns and cities and counties of the State
larger revenue.
But because we are about to adopt a new system of taxation under which
ad valorem taxation will be released to the counties and the towns and cities,
we must not conclude that the State will be unable to raise by constitutional
and just taxation all the revenue which it may need for the purpose of
sustaining the institutions established for the care and maintenance of its
unfortunate and defective people; to support its institutions for higher learn-
ing and to discharge all of the duties of a great commonwealth. We can
tax the people of the State not only as much without ad valorem taxation
as with it, but with greater justice to all classes. There is absolutely no
reason why we should not raise through taxation all the money necessary
to pay the interest upon a sufficient issue of State bonds to make the perma-
nent improvements necessary at our institutions for the care of the unfor-
tunate and defective of our State and at our institutions for higher learning,
and to defray the current annual expenses of an economically administered
State government. There should be no extravagance or waste in this State,
either in the permanent improvements made at our State institutions, or in
the annual expenses of their maintenance, and certainly there should be
most rigid economy in the administration of our government, not only at
these institutions, but in every department of it. No set of men had any
right to anticipate what the income of North Carolina would be through
taxation for the next two years. The progressives of the State had just
won a great victory. We were pledged to progress. We had amended our
State Constitution upon the subject of taxation. We had cleared away the
obstacles and made ready to take care of this State's unfortunates and to
make our institutions for higher learning worthy of the age in which we
live. What the representatives of this new day in North Carolina would
78 SENATE JOURNAL [Session
do could not be calculated by a budget commission, and we ougbt not to
be bridled by its recommendations. We ougbt to exercise tbe credit of this
State, not merely to give to our institutions for the unfortunate and defec-
tive and our institutions for higher learning what we must give to save
ourselves from positive disgrace and shame, but what a wise statemanship
and a great and progressive civilization suggests as wise and, without waste,
necessary to accomplish the noble purpose aimed at through these institu-
tions. We do not want to move and have our being as a crippled, weak and
halting State, but we want to stand up like a mighty giant of progress and
go foiavard in the upbuilding of our State and the glorification of our God.
The man who whispers: "Go slow, we haven't got the money"; "The people
won't stand for any foolishness," is asleep and does not realize that North
Carolina is determined to make our government strong for the protection
and upbuilding of our people.
We must not only take care of these noble institutions, but if we are true
servants of the people, we must build a system of hard surfaced State high-
ways in this State and cease to waste money in building mud roads.
The people demand that this whole program shall be carried through, and
fully know that they are amply able to do it. if they can get their public
servants to enact the legislation necessary. If they did not want these
things done, why did they elect me Governor of North Carolina? For I
advocated the whole program in the primaries and in the general election,
from Swain to Pasquotank. How can we raise the money with which to
pay the interest for the public improvements and the current expenses of
the government? There is no difficulty about it if we will but get away
from the idea that the only thing we can justly tax is the property of the
weakling and the widow, and realize that the modern sense of justice in taxa-
tion suggests less of the burden upon the principal money of the people and
more upon annual income, profits and business.
The United States government for some years has been levying and col-
lecting the largest tax bills ever levied and collected on earth, and not one
dollar of it is upon an ad valorem basis. It collected from North Carolina
last year more than one hundred and sixty millions of dollars, and every
source of taxation used by the United States government is available to
the people of this State. Of course, as State taxation, some of it would be
most unwise and I would not for one moment advise some of the taxation
levied by the United States government, but we could levy it, and besides,
tax other sources not touched by the United States. The proper committees
of the General Assembly ought to ascertain what revenue North Carolina
needs to pay the necessary interest upon the money which should be bor-
rowed to put our educational and charitable institutions upon a sound and
wise basis, and to build a system of hard-surfaced highways in this State,
and then levy it. The money can be found without oppression or injustice
to anybody. We can tax every business and trade in North Carolina and
classify the trades and businesses. We can tax incomes; we can tax annual
profits ; we can levy franchise and inheritance tax, etc. Our difficulty in finding
revenue through just taxation is nothing like so great as it is to find public
men with the courage to go forward and levy it.
We can construct a system of highways in North Carolina without in-
creasing the taxation now paid one dollar by simply adopting the modern
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 79
conception of progressive government; borrow the money, and use the auto-
mobile tax to pay the interest, and realize that maintenance and up-keep is
not a new burden; but will be a smaller one than is now borne by keeping
up the mud holes of the State called roads. We ought not to waste one dollar
of this money building or keeping 'up dirt roads in the State; our revenue
to defray our other interest charges and current expenses should be levied
upon the subjects now taxed, and an income tax, and if necessary taking ex-
clusively to the State some of the license taxes now allowed towns and
cities and counties. The income tax is the fairest of all taxes when rightly
levied. In my judgment it ought not to be graduated. We would not
graduate a tax if we were levying an ad valorem tax upon the property
from which the income is derived, and a graduated tax upon the income
derived from the property is just as unjust as it would be if levied on an
ad valorem basis. If it was proposed in North Carolina to levy a tax of
fifty cents on the hundred dollars of value on the man owning one hundred
acres of land, and seventy-five cents upon the one hundred dollars of value
on persons owning two hundred acres of land, and so on, it would shock
the sense of justice of our people and not for one moment would it be
tolerated; but when we levy it upon the income, we have followed a popular
fallacy and come to believe in graduating the tax. I believe our income tax
should be a fixed rate above the exemption and let each man pay according
to his income. This is just, and if this principle is adopted there will not
be a murmur of opposition throughout North Carolina from the worthy men
and women of the State and business interests from whom so much of the
income will, and ought to come; but when we depart from the principle of
uniformity in rate of taxation, there is no principle to control us, and the
body levying the tax empirically decides how much they will take from
those with larger incomes. This produces a feeling of fear and a danger of
injustice which frightens people of large incomes. The man with an income
of five thousand dollars over his exemption ought to pay a certain amount,
and a man with an income of fifty thousand dollars over his exemption ought
to pay just ten times as much, and no more. I know I attack almost an
accepted principle of taxation in this statement, but nevertheless a graduated
income tax is unjust and denies any protection to those of large incomes,
while a uniform rate is just to all, and no man can complain. I most
earnestly urge concert of action between the finance committees of the
General Assembly and the appropriation committees, and that they realize
that we are in the midst of a formative and history-making period; that
North Carolina's income is to be determined now, and at this session of the
General Assembly, and not by past history; that the people have voted for
greater strength and progress and that it is their high duty to lead the way
to a larger income for the government of this State, and for the upbuilding
of its institutions and the construction of a new highway system. The
Budget Commission did conscientious and splendid work, but in this forma-
tive and constructive period of our history, it could not anticipate the action
of this General Assembly as to income. I earnestly hope that their report
will be considered as valuable and suggestive, but not controlling.
The people of this State have paid less tax for purposes of State govern-
ment for many years than any State in this Union. Our public debt, when
credited with our liquid assets, is possibly the smallest in the Union. We
80 SENATE JOUKNAL [Session
are able to go forward. We must go forward. The people, as forcibly as
they could express themselves, have said they want to go forward. They
have amended by nearly two hundred thousand majority their Constitution
upon the subject of taxation in order that they might without oppressive
ad valorem taxation find the revenue with which to execute their progressive
purposes.'
When we have adopted the new system of State taxation and levied the
necessary taxes upon the incomes, businesses and trades of the State,
franchises, etc., we ought to surrender to the counties of the State complete
local self-government in the valuation and taxation of property for ad
valorem purposes. I believe that this General Assembly should provide that
whenever the board of county commissioners in any county find as a fact
that the property of a county was valued for more than its actual value in
money that there should be a revaluation ordered by them of the property
of such county, and under a proper machinery act such revaluation should
be promptly made; and that hereafter when there should be a revaluation of
the property of the State that under a proper machinery act such valuation
should be made through the officials of each county, with such expert State
advice and assistance as may be found wise.
I further recommend the establishment of a new department of our State
government to be known as the "Department of Taxation and Revenue."
This General Assembly should provide for this department and transfer to
a Commissioner of Taxation and Revenue all the duties with reference to
taxation now performed by the Corporation Commission.
I also most earnestly recommend the establishment of a department for
the control and supervision of the banks of the State, and that all the duty
now exercised by the Corporation Commission with reference to banks should
be transferred to a Commissioner of Banks.
The Corporation Commission is now charged with duties too burdensome
for any three men to discharge. It is their duty to control and regulate
all Jthe public service corporations of this State and to fix the rates which
they can charge. This is a most important duty and must be met promptly
and after long and laborious study and research. The Commission is now
engaged constantly in this important work. They are required, as they
should be, in many important respects, still to regulate railroad service in
this State. They are required and they should be, to represent the State in
the matter of freight rates. The Commission has performed this duty in a
manner above all praise. The State should be constantly represented in this
important matter. Freight rates are in the future a judicial and adminis-
trative question. Political agitation about them will accomplish nothing,
and the incident irritation will only prejudice us before the Interstate Com-
merce Commission, and more and more the Corporation Commission must
continue to look after this most important interest of the State. If it
performs these two great functions they have no time left adequately to
supervise banks in North Carolina and look after taxation and revenue
matters.
The Bank Commissioner and his department will be paid for by the banks
and will not cost the taxpayers anything. The banks will have supervision
which will be far more satisfactory to them, and the Corporation Commis-
sion will be released to discharge their other important duties. The Com-
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 81
missioner of Taxation and Revenue and his organization should be made
efficient, and the most generous provision for this will not cost the State
anything approaching the present cost of collecting the revenue of the State
through the sheriffs and other tax collectors upon a percentage basis. I
most earnestly urge the creation of this department because the new system
of taxation cannot be made successful without it.
If you should adopt my recommendation and create the offices of Bank
Commissioner and Commissioner of Taxation and Revenue, and follow the
custom of allowing the Governor to appoint, I most earnestly suggest that
you make their appointment at the pleasure of the Governor. I think it
unwise to give officers appointed by the Governor any fixed terms. They
certainly ought not to go beyond a term of the Governor appointing them,
and I believe it would make for strength and efficiency in the Executive
branch of the government if all officers who are not elected by the people are
subject to removal by the Governor at will and without cause. Our institu-
tions are all in the hands of boards that are almost self-perpetuating. The
Governor appoints a few each year, and if he desires to change the policy of
any institution it would be most difficult for him to do so. If the first two
or three members he appointed were not pretty firm men the management
would likewise capture them against the Governor's policies before he
could make, in the next two or three years, other appointments which would
enable him to change the management of the institution. If the General
Assembly sat all the time it could exercise the executive arm of the
government, but it does not. As soon as it adjourns, the smallest officer
in this State appointed by the Governor can defy him and there is no
power to move him until his term expires. The Constitution of the State
places the supreme executive power of the State in the Governor's office.
I do not desire to ask for any greater power than the General Assembly
has heretofore in recognition of the Constitution given the Governor; but
I do most earnestly ask that the power given the Governor should be
given in a manner that will enable him to exercise it with energy and
efficiency. The Governor is looked upon by the people as the head of the
administration during his term, and the public holds him accountable for
the conduct of the officers appointed by the Governor; and yet by the Chinese
puzzle arrangement through which these boards are created and perpetuated,
it is impossible for the Governor to control them. During my term of
office I cannot, until near its close, under the present law, change the manage-
ment or policy, except through moral persuasion, in any department of the
State's government, or at any of its institutions. I believe that the true
spirit of the Constitution intended that the Governor should have the power
to control the administration of the executive branch of the government,
except as to those executive powers given to officers elected by the people
and responsible to the people. Legislative investigation and correction of
executive departments of the government is proper and under all condi-
tions to be encouraged; but on account of the short session of our legis-
lative body, the Governor should have the power to remove any officer
appointed by him at will. I desire to declare to your great branch of the
government that any power given me to reorganize and administer the
executive branch of the State government will be exercised, not in fac-
tionalism, but in the interest of the whole people of the State. I think it
6 — Senate
82 SENATE JOURNAL [Session
would be most wise to enact a general statute allowing the Governor to call
for the resignation, and if not forthcoming, to remove any executive officer
appointed by the Governor; and in the future no term should be fixed for
appointive executive officers. The man holding responsible government posi-
tions should be responsible, either to the people or to the official head of
the executive branch of the government. Those in charge of every institution
in the State, all the commissions and agencies set up to discharge the execu-
tive functions of the government and appointed by the Governor, are
absolutely independent of any action which he may take until near the
expiration of the Governor's term. I do not believe there is a single insti-
tution or commission which I could reorganize or change the policy of until
the last year of the term for which I have been elected Governor, and yet
the people will hold me responsible for the administration of the excutive
branch of our government. I believe this situation has caused a lack of
cooperation and unity of purpose in the executive branch of our government,
destructive of energy and vigor. If the Governor, the supreme head of the
executive branch of the government, ought to be removed every four years,
it does seem to me that subordinate executive officers ought to go out with
him and allow the Governor's successor the privilege of selecting his own
helpers in administering the government during his term, and not confine
his legal power to tying the hands of his successor. I most earnestly ask
the proper committees to formulate proper legislation to correct this evil,
and if there is objection to giving me the necessary power to organize and
administer the executive branch of the State's government during my term,
that they will, at least, enact legislation which will enable my successor to
do something more than advise and persuade those selected by me for him.
I confess to you that I want the great office of governor freely accorded
the power which I believe the makers of our Constitution intended it to
exercise. I want the power in order that I may use it with energy and
determination for the people and the greater efficiency of the executive
branch of our government, but if the power is given to me, it certainly ought
to be given to my successor.
I do not know any further recommendations to make to your honorable
body. If any other should occur to me during your session, I shall feel free
to come before you and offer them orally or send them in a written message,
but, so far as I know now, the recommendations of my inaugural address and
those which I have just made are all that I feel it my duty to make. If there
is any other subject upon which any committee of your honorable body or
any individual member of it desires the Governor's opinion, it will give me
great pleasure to confer with you at any time.
In conclusion I desire to say that the people of the State expect from this
General Assembly and our administration a consummation and completion
of the patriotic constructive work that our people have been laboring, praying
and sacrificing for twenty-odd years. I invoke a spirit of courage and
determination. We have prepared through labor, sacrifice and self-denial
for the consummation of our sacred and patriotic ambitions.
These are my recommendations, and may God's will about them be done
in your honorable body, as it is done in Heaven.
At the conclusion of the Joint Session the Senate returns to its chamber
and reconvenes.

message from the house of representatives
House of Representatives,
March 7, 1921.
Mr. President: — Pursuant to a joint resolution inviting Governor Morri-
son to address the General Assembly, you are notified that the House is
ready to receive you and awaits your pleasure.
Respectfully,
Alex Lassiter.
Upon motion of Senator Long of Alamance, the Senate takes a recess and
proceeds in a body to the Hall of the House of Representatives for the
Joint Session to hear the address by his Excellency, the Governor.
message from the governor
Members of the General Assembly:
I appear before you gentlemen with profound respect; not that
respect alone which the Governor of the State should always feel for the
legislative branch of the government, but with deep respect and admiration
ior your honorable body, awakened by the great record which you have
made in the face of grave duty. Your record is not excelled by that of any
General Assembly which ever convened in any state in the American
union. I am profoundly grateful to you for the high manner in which you
have met your great responsibilities.
But I appear before you this morning to call your attention to a situation
which, if not corrected, may largely destroy the noble work you have done
for the institutions for our unfortunate and defective people, and for the
institutions of learning and to implore you to remedy the trouble before
you adjourn.
Under the law as it is now, the millions which you have appropriated
to the long list of institutions for the unfortunate, as well as for our educa-
tional institutions, will be expended by a building commission and a
state architect. It will be impossible to get a building commission to serve
without pay, or for nominal pay, and supervise and properly direct the
expenditure of all these millions, and to look to the construction of all
the buildings involved in the program. It may be a small building pro-
gram might be well looked after by a small commission, but the great pro-
gram for which you have provided cannot be carried out with safety
by a small commission of men, and an architect.
I want earnestly to advise the immediate repeal of the law providing for
a building commission. It will be impossible to secure one of competent
ability to discharge its duties unless a large salary is attached. I am
satisfied that it would not be wise to entrust this whole program, and the
expenditure of all this money, to a small commission of men, even if
there were attached a large salary. I most earnestly urge that the law
creating a public building commission be abolished, and that the trustees
and management of each institution to which appropriations have been
made for building purposes shall be charged with the duty of expending
the money appropriated to their institutions. It will be easy to get the
ablest and best-fitted men and women in North Carolina to serve on any
53S SEXATE JOURNAL [Session-
one of the boards at these institutions, but it is impossible to get men and
women of the character and ability required to carry out the whole program
without large salaries.
I most earnestly urge that you do not put all of your eggs in one basket,
when you will be unable to do as Carnegie advised, that it was all right
to put them in one basket, provided you could watch the basket.
We have embarked at the behest of the people of North Carolina upon
the greatest program of construction and upbuilding ever undertaken by a
Southern State, and those of us who are the servants of the people in
this sacred and patriotic work ought to see to it that the money is expended
in a way that there will not only be no scandal, but that the people will
have perfect confidence that it is being done with the utmost care.
I further urge that in order that the boards at these institutions may be
strengthened, the act consolidating the asylum directors and providing
for a purchasing agency be abolished, and that the old law providing for
a board of directors at each of the institutions embraced in that act shou' \
be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, be revived
Under this consolidated policy the directors of each institution have been
reduced to three. I think the number too small. We should have a
directorate as large as is usually in charge of a high class institution doing a
large business. We can get men and women of the very highest order of
ability to serve the State on the board of directors of these institutions,
and look to the proper expenditures of the vast sums you have appropriated
for their enlargement.
I most earnestly plead with this General Assembly not to break a
quorum or adjourn until this legislation has been enacted, and until I have
had the opportunity to make the nominations for the new directors, and
let the Senate act upon them. I will be ready in a few hours after the
legislation is enacted to name the new directors, and ask the Senate to
confirm them.
If this legislation is enacted, I most earnestly believe that we will have
made a record which will be approved both by the conscience and judg-
ment of North Carolina, but if the legislation is not enacted, I frankly
confess to you that I do not see any way to safely carry through our noble
purposes.
At the conclusion of the Governor's address the Senate returns to its
chamber and reconvenes.
The Chair lays before the Senate the Special Order:

Cameron Morrison,

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER'S REPORT.
Raleigh, January 29, 1921.
To His Excellency, Cameron Morrison,
Governor of North Carolina.
Dear Sir: — Section 6273 of the Consolidated Statutes of North Carolina
reads as follows:
"The Commissioner shall on or before the first day of
February of each year in which the General Assembly is in session, make
to the Governor the recommendations called for in this section, to be trans-
mitted to the General Assembly, with the last annual report of this depart-
ment, including receipts and disbursements."
Pursuant to this requirement I have the honor to submit the following
statement and recommendations:
STATEMENT
The supervision devolving upon the Insurance Department is so diversi-
fied as to preclude a detailed statement of all its phases. Briefly, it includes
the administration of the law as related to the following corporations,
individuals and subjects:
Life Insurance Companies.
Fire Insurance Companies.
Reinsurance Insurance Companies.
Companies selling all other classes of indemnity.
Investment Companies (Blue Sky).
Fraternal Orders.
Building and Loan Associations.
588 SENATE JOURNAL [Session
Lightning Rod Companies.
Non-resident insurance brokers.
Agents of any company subject to supervision by this department.
Insurance on State property.
Building and Inspection Law.
Fire Marshal Law.
Rate making Bureaus and Associations.
Firemen's Relief Fund.
Complaints, Claims and Violations.
SUPERVISION
As provided by the law involves among other things the following:
1. Annual Statements. — Audit and publication of all financial statements
filed by companies operating in the State; compiling from them in statistical
form such information as may be of value to the public, the department
or General Assembly.
2. Complaints and Violations. — To investigate and prosecute all violations
of the insurance law, to look into all complaints made by the citizens of
the State, to give them such information as they may desire in regard
to companies and associations, and such aid as they may need in any
cortroversy or misunderstanding. The work and correspondence in these
matters take practically the time of a first-class man.
3. Approval of Contracts. — To examine for approval all insurance con-
tracts issued in the State, and every company, association, or society is
required to submit for approval all applications for as Avell as contracts
of insurance, with clauses modifying the same, before it is lawful to
offer them in the State. While this involves a considerable amount of work,
largely technical, it is a very valuable law, and certainly helpful in regard
to the character of the contracts of insurance issued in the State.
4. Rate Making Bureaus and Associations. — These associations and bureaus
of practically every class of insurance are subject to inspection and ex-
amination, and it requires much labor of a technical and painstaking
character to keep in touch with the various rules, regulations, and rates
promulgated. Under the law every company must file with the Insurance
Department the schedules and rules on which they base their rates, and
fire companies must not only do this, but furnish each owner of property with
each rate made (or changed) in detail.
5. Fire Marshal. — The Insurance Commissioner as ex officio fire marshal
has charge of the investigations of all suspicious fires, and the prosecution
of those supposed to be responsible for them. There have been many of
these investigations and prosecutions which have been very beneficial in
their results. A number of convictions are obtained each year and the
deterrent effect is especially good. The convictions each year average
from 15 to 20. It is more difficult to convict for burning than perhaps for
any other crime, and there can be no question but that these convictions,
as well as the vigorous prosecutions conducted even where no convictions
followed, have had a good effect and are materially reducing fires in the
State.
6. Building and Inspection Laws. — To enforce the law relative to the
erection and inspection of buildings involves not only having inspections
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 589
made throughout the State by men sent from the department, but also
seeing that the work is kept up and the laws enforced by the officers of
the different cities and towns. The State Building Code and its enforce-
ment in the different cities and towns in the State is not only greatly improv-
ing fire conditions and liability to conflagrations in our cities and towns, but
is having a fine effect in the education of our people as to the advantage
of better and safer buildings and the protection they afford against
the destruction by fire of life and property throughout the State. The
Legislature of 1915 provided that the license fees collected from fire insur-
ance companies should be used for this purpose. This gave a sufficient
sum and has enabled the department to start out upon different lines
of fire prevention and lay a broader foundation for a great and effective
work along this line in the State.
7. Exits and Fire Escapes. — Supervision and enforcement of the law
in regard to sufficient exits and proper fire escapes for buildings in the
State where people congregate. This is a most important law and one
that has called for considerable thought and work, over 2,000 fire escapes
having been erected under its operation. It is to be greatly regretted
that so many of our public buildings, especially theatres, dormitories and
school buildings, should be so erected that it is impossible to arrange
for an absolutely safe escape of the inmates in case of fire. Some pro-
vision should be made so that plans for new buildings of this character
must be passed by some expert to insure not only the safety of the building
itself, but especially of the inmates, from fire. The last legislature made
such provision as to school buildings, the plans of which must now be ap-
proved by the department.
8. Accident Prevention. — Parallel with the work of fire prevention is
the prevention of accidents. It is largely a work of education and con-
siderable effort is being put forth to protect, the people of the State from
their own carelessness and preventable accidents.
9. Firemen's Relief Fund. — To collect and distribute the tax payable for
the benefit of fire departments in cities and towns qualifying to receive
the same. This has grown to be an item of considerable benefit in the
support of firemen disabled through service, the amount so distributed
during 1920 being $24,352.74.
10. Insurance on State Property. — To make annual inspection of all the
State institutions and buildings, both as to their safety from fire and as
to the safety of the inmates in case of fire. This is an important duty
involving the protection of the property of the State and the lives of the
inmates of our State institutions, most of whom are helpless, especially
in case of fire. The difficulties attending the discharge of this duty are
increased by the fact that heretofore little attention has been paid to the
character of buildings erected from the standpoint of safety from fire or
the protection of inmates in case of fire, and too little attention is being
paid even now to this important matter: to prepare schedules and place
insurance upon all the different State properties. Heretofore an appro-
priation of $10,000 annually has been made for this purpose, but the
last General Assembly wisely increased the amount to $20,000.00.
11. Building and Loan Associations. — The operation of building and loan
associations has proven a strong factor in the industrial growth of the
590 SENATE JOUKNAL [Session
State. During the current year over $60,000.00 has been collected by the
department from them as taxes and redistributed to the State, counties
and cities.
Their increase in numbers, in assets, their value to the community and
State in promoting thrift justify every encouragement that can be given
them. Because of this growth their supervision has become a matter of
much concern, requiring more funds and examiners than is provided by the
law.
12. Investment and Promotion Companies. — One of the greatest problems
of the current year has been the protection of the public from the ex-
ploitation of unscrupulous stock salesmen who have infested the State,
and who, but for the action of the special session of our legislature in
requiring two years bona fide residence in this State, would still be a pest.
The unusual prosperity of the rural districts during the past two years has
furnished them a rich opportunity to capitalize imaginary profits, and the
sum of five hundred dollars allowed the department for investigating and
prosecuting violations has proven too small to cope with a problem of such
magnitude, practically defeating the intent of the law. More funds should
be made available for a strict enforcement of this statute.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Complying with section 6273 of the Insurance Law, requiring the Insur-
ance Commissioner to make recommendations to the General Assembly of
"any change which in his opinion should be made in the laws relating to
insurance and other subjects appertaining to his department," the retiring
Insurance Commissioner submitted to the last General Assembly in January,
1919, a number of recommendations, some of which were acted upon
and others, while being considered by the Assembly, were not acted upon.
Some of these are quoted in part:
1. Building and Clerical Help. — "Few realize to what extent the work
and responsibility of this department have grown, and the absolute necessity
of having competent and experienced help, in many cases requiring expert
knowledge. This is necessary, both because of the increased work in the
supervision, and examination of insurance companies, associations, and
societies, and the necessity of closer supervision of building and loan
associations, as well as the attention demanded in other departments of
this work. Because of the small salary given the commissioner he will
be forced to retire and seek other work in which he can get approximately
at least what is necessary for the support of himself and family. The
employees of the department are not adequately compensated in salaries,
when yqu consider either the character of the work required, the informa-
tion necessary to do this work, or the amount necessary under the present
conditions of high cost of living to give adequate support. There is no
question in the mind of the commissioner but that not only the salaries
of the present employees in the department should be increased but that
additional and competent employees should be provided for at adequate
salaries.
"The employees in the Insurance Department are not receiving as much
salary or being paid on the same basis as those in other State departments
for the same quantity or character of work being done."
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 591
It must be apparent to any who study the matters covered in this respect
that the recommendation of the former commissioner in this respect should
receive due consideration. A budget has been prepared showing the needs
of the department, which is considered a conservative request and merits
favorable and prompt action.
2. Licensed Electricians. — "That no person be allowed to install electrical
apparatus or do electrical wiring in this State unless licensed by the Insur-
ance Commissioner upon showing to the satisfaction of the commissioner
that he is competent to do this work, providing, of course, that the com-
missioner might waive this requirement where it is shown that the party
proposing to do the work is licensed by a city or town under a provision
providing for the licensing of only skilled and competent workmen.
"The increase in the use of electricity in our cities and towns, in
rural communities, and the hazard from improper installation make a
law of this character absolutely necessary. Local ordinances in cities and
towns will not accomplish the necessary supervision for protection of life
and property, for as soon as an electrician finds that his work is closely
inspected in any one place, he will, if an incompetent man or willing to
slight his work for gain, move to another place. Besides, only through
a State law and agency can our farmers be given the necessary protection."
3. Workmen's Compensation haw. — "Our laws are very deficient as to
employers' liability and kindred matters. The department has called the
attention of the last two General Assemblies to the advisability of having
these laws added to and improved and a workmen's compensation act put
in force in this State. There is no question but that the principles of the
workmen's compensation laws already in force in forty-five of our States
are right. It is the best and most progressive way to deal with these
matters, and in the end will prove best for the citizens of our State. The
commissioner believes that the employers and employees of the State do
favor the principles involved in these laws, the only question being as to
the details or special provisions of the law. The principles of the workmen's
compensation acts are right and the State can ill afford not to be progressive
enough in its legislation to have this law enacted, and in view of the fact
that the commission appointed by the last General Assembly has prepared
a bill, it is hoped that our people can agree upon some measure that will
best serve our purpose and satisfy all of our people."
The above recommendation is repeated, although the Commissioner has
for several years made a similar one to our General Assemblies. No one
who has given proper study to this subject, approaching it with an open
mind for the public good, can but be convinced of the correctness of the
principles of a workmen's compensation law, however he may differ with
others as to its form. A few years ago there were no workmen's compensa-
tion laws in this country, while now they have been adopted in all our
States but five or six.
In the opinion of the Commissioner, it is a question of getting a law fair
to all parties and not one that gives anyone an undue advantage. Such a law
will greatly benefit both employees and employers in bringing about a good
feeling of mutual respect and confidence as the bitterness of law suits and
other differences disappear.
592 SENATE JOURNAL [Session
4. State Capitol. — The recent destruction of the Capitol Building in West
Virginia and the incalculable loss of State records emphasizes the recom-
mendation of the retiring Commissioner in reference to our State building,
and is quoted:
"Your Commissioner would again strongly recommend that some steps be
taken for the better protection of the State Capitol from destruction by
fire. This is a magnificent building, but is far from fireproof, and an in-
spection of the building, especially under the roof, would disclose to any
committee or member of your body the urgent necessity and importance of
this recommendation."
The repetition of the above recommendation is done for emphasis such as
its importance demands. The Commissioner being by law required to make
an annual inspection of all State property with a view of its protection from
fire, as well as the safety of its inmates in case of fire, naturally sees and
realizes that many of our State buildings are, unsafe not only as fire risks,
but for their inmates in case of fire, and has repeatedly brought it to the
attention of our State authorities. The State Capitol — magnificent building
as it is — needs a much better protection from fire.
5. Steam-Boiler Inspection. — It is very important that there should be laws
requiring and governing the inspection of steam boilers in the State. It is
most important for the protection of life and property, and such laws are
found in most of the states.
Our State has now become a large manufacturing State. Its industries are
large and important, and our laws should prescribe proper requirements
for boilers, and certainly requirements as to inspection of steam boilers.
6. Capital and Surplus. — An increase should be made in the minimum
capital for marine insurance companies, as $25,000 is entirely too little.
Your Commissioner believes that new companies being organized in the
State should be required to have a surplus in addition to the amount of
capital required by law.
An examination of the amount of capital stock and other requirements as
to the organization of new insurance companies will show that there is
need of a tightening up of conditions for the good of the business, and the
protection of the public. The amount of capital stock should be increased
and a reasonable surplus required. The laws are entirely too lax as to
requirements necessary for new mutual companies. They should be such
as make the contracts of such companies absolutely safe and prevent their
use for promotion purposes, or even as experiments.
The character and standing of North Carolina, so far as its insurance
business, insurance companies, and department and laws are concerned, is
such as should make us careful not only as to the number of insurance
companies, but their quality and financial standing as well.
>'EW LEGISLATION
1. Fraternal Orders. — We should provide how a fraternal society organized
under the laws of this State may consolidate, merge or reinsure its risks
with any other fraternal benefit society, or assume or reinsure the risks
of any other fraternal benefit society, and provide penalties for the viola-
tion of the same. This bill has the endorsement of the National Fraternal
Congress, and, in our judgment, should become a law in this State.
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 593
2. Burning Personal Property.- — An act to provide for the punishment of
persons who wilfully or maliciously burn or cause to be burned personal
property. This law is needed in view of the fact that a good many auto-
mobiles are being burned, and we have no law that would cover this spe-
cifically. This bill has been drawn by our Attorney-General, who thinks
its adoption wise.
3. Amortization Bill. — This bill has been endorsed unanimously by the
National Convention of Insurance Commissioners, and should be enacted.
It provides that —
"The process by which the premium or discount on a bond is gradually
eliminated is termed amortization. It has the highly desirable effect of
substituting for a security valuation that depends upon temporary market
fluctuations a scientifically adjusted valuation based upon par value, purchase
price, period the bond has to run and the interest rate."
There are two methods used, the pro rata and the scientific, the latter
being by far more accurate and more generally used. Under the scientific
method bonds purchased at a figure other than par produce to the purchaser
an effective rate of interest, which is different from the nominal rate of
interest provided in the bond. The purchaser takes credit for the interest
at the effective rate, and the present value of the bond at the intermediate
valuation dates is adjusted accordingly.
4. Lightning Rods. — The supervision of this business was placed under the
department in 1917, and we find that the law should be amended or simplified
in some way. There is no penalty for noncompliance, and on account of a
great many wildcat concerns entering the State who sell and erect the rods
before we are notified it is imperative that we should be in a position to
protect our citizens. These concerns rob the State and counties of its just
revenue and install inferior material. An amendment for submission to the
present General Assembly is now being prepared.

596 SEX ATE JOURNAL [Session
The corporation clerk in the Secretary of State's office is paid $2,500 a
year (section 2, chapter 247, Public Laws 1919) — the salary fixed for the
chief clerks in all the departments. That chapter, however, provided in
section 9 that the Governor and Council of State could increase the salaries
of all chief clerks or deputies not exceeding twenty per cent of the amount
prescribed for the different departments, whenever the chief clerk or
deputy had served for a period of ten years or more, etc. Under this clause
the chief clerk in this office was unable to take advantage of the raise.
The corporation clerk in the Secretary of State's office has served in that
office for fifteen years in various capacities. Other chief clerks in the de-
partments are now receiving $3,000 a year.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
To his Excellency, Governor T. W. Bickett,
Raleigh, N. C.
I am transmitting to you a summary of the achievements educationally
in North Carolina for the biennial period ending December 31, 1920.
The report of the State Educational Commission, which has just been
published, presents the educational conditions existing at this time. My
report to the State Budget Commission contains my recommendations.
Therefore, the conditions and needs are omitted in this report.
It is my desire to present as concise a statement of achievements as
possible with the hope that it will be read in this brief form by a very
large number of people.
Without commenting on these bare facts I leave them to speak eloquently
of how fast this State is progressing in order that our people may take
hope and strengthen their courage and increase their cooperation. If this
same progress is maintained by each succeeding General Assembly, North
Carolina will no longer be regarded as one of the most backward states
educationally.
I believe, furthermore, that this record of achievements will strengthen
the faith of the people in the earnestness of the teachers whose reward
should be measured, so far as possible, by the service rendered.
Very respectfully yours,
E. C. Brooks,
State Superintendent Public Instruction.
THE TEACHERS
The total number of teachers employed in the public schools for the
year 1919-20 was 16,854. This is an increase of 1,785 over the previous
year. Notwithstanding this great increase there were 403 schools closed
for lack of teachers. The total number, therefore, necessary to provide
adequately for all the schools, if the enrollment is not materially increased
this year, is 17,257.
This increase in the number of new teachers is unprecedented. It is
found largely in the white schools, the total increase in these schools
being 1,287. Of these 502 are male and 705 are female, showing a tendency
for the male teacher to return to the profession as a result of the increase
in salary.
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 807
THE SALARIES OF TEACHERS
A great factor contributing to the improvement of the schools was the
increase in appropriations by the last General Assembly which made it
possible to increase the salaries of the teachers. The average annual salary
paid to city teachers last year was $688.02 and to rural teachers $405.90.
This was an increase of $151.76 to city teachers and $140.77 to rural teachers.
The average annual salary paid to white teachers in the city schools was
$753.66, and in the rural schools, $450.01, or an increase of $170.98 in the
city schools and $153.21 in the rural schools.
The average annual salary paid to the colored teachers in the city schools
was $445.15, and in the rural schools $262.85, or an increase of $76.64 to
the city teachers and $105.70 to the rural teachers.
The total amount paid for teaching and supervision for 1919-20 was
$8,445,699, but for 1918-19 it was $5,112,871, or an increase of about 65%.
The outlay for new buildings, sites and repairs for 1919-20 was $2,645,515,
but for 1918-19' it was $917,933, an increase of 188%. The total expenditure,
including cost of teaching, supervision, operation of plants, administration,
new buildings, repairs, etc., was for 1919-20, $12,214,258, and for 1918-19,
$6,768,062, or an increase of $5,446,196, or about 80%.
THE PREPARATION OF TEACHERS
The teachers of the State were never certificated before 1919-20 according
to any uniform standard. As a result of the new law it was necessary to
determine the standing of the teachers in order to apportion the salary
according to individual fitness. It was discovered that about two-fifths ot
the white teachers and about three-fourths of the colored teachers were un-
able to measure up to the lowest standard State certificates, which requires
the equivalent of graduation of a standard high school. Many of these, of
course, were the new teachers that were pressed into service as a result of
the large enrollment. But in order to fit themselves for teaching, summer
schools were provided that would give them instruction from six to eight
weeks. As a result 7,627 attended summer school for six to eight weeks and
5,571 received credit which raised the value of their certificates. Of this
number 1,803 hold the second grade certificate, which is the lowest permit
issued to any teacher in the State. It is not a certificate in the proper sense,
but merely a permit to teach until someone can be found who is competent
to take the place. As a result of the summer school work 1,215 of these
raised their certificates to a higher grade.
The county summer school program was conducted at a cost of $47,917,
but it was without expense to the teachers. The amount spent for 'training
rural teachers in 1918-19 was only $4,447. It is very evident that as soon
as the State gave opportunity for professional improvement the teachers at
once took advantage of it.
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
In studying the attendance it is easy to see why the number of teachers
should increase so largely. The total school population, according to the
census, is 840,981. However, the census for the rural districts shows a
decrease in population of 2,500. This should cause all thoughtful people to
pause and study the cause.
608 SENATE JOURNAL [Session
The total enrollment for 1919-20 was 691,249, or an increase over the year
before of 99,762, or 55 pupils for each new teacher added. Although the
census shows a decrease in school population in the rural districts, the en-
rollment in the rural districts increased 75,096, showing that the large
increase in enrollment was in the rural districts. The average daily attend-
ance was 473,552, or an increase of S7,879. Even on the basis of average
attendance the increase in average daily attendance shows about 49 new
pupils for each new teacher added.
The increase in attendance is due in a large measure to the compulsory
school law and to the improvement in the management and conduct of the
schools. It is becoming the rule for teachers to go into the district before
school opens and acquaint the people with the necessity of sending the
children to school promptly and regularly. This large increase in attendance
comes from children within the compulsory school age, namely, from eight
to thirteen, inclusive. So thorough was the work done last year by the
attendance officers and teachers that practically the entire school population
within the compulsory school age was enrolled in school. In fact, the sta-
tistics show that a larger number was enrolled than is actually on the census.
But this showing is due to the fact that the census has not been taken in some
districts in several years, and also to the fact that as the population moves at
the close of the year quite a number of children will be enrolled twice. How-
ever, a number of superintendents reported that the entire school population
of compulsory age within certain districts had been enrolled in the public
school.
THE SCHOOL TERM
The average length of the school term for the white race for the year
1919-20 was almost seven months, exclusive of all holidays, it being 136
days. The rural schools were 126.4 days and the city schools were 170 days.
This is an average of 22.9 days for the rural schools and 14.6 days for the city
schools, or an average increase for all schools of 22 days.
The negro schools increased from 94.8 days for rural schools to 118.3
days. The city schools increased from 151.6 days to 165.1 days, or an aver-
age increase for all colored schools from 105.6 days to 127.4 days.
Taking an average of both white and colored schools the rural schools
increased from 101.6 to 124.5 days; the city schools from 154.7 days to 169
days, or a general average for all schools an increase from 112 to 134 days.
The term "city schools" applies not only to the larger cities but also to
the smaller towns. These supply practically all the high school instruction
in the State. But the average length of these schools in 1918-19 was for
the white schools only 155.5 days, not long enough to provide standard high
school instruction, 160 days being considered the minimum term necessary
in all states. But in 1920 the term on an average increased to 170.1. The
standard term recognized throughout the country is 180 days, with 160 days
as the minimum. If the restrictions on the local taxes are removed by this
General Assembly it will be possible to bring a large number of the stronger
high schools to 180 days, while the consolidated schools may be brought to
the minimum term of 160 days.
1921] SEXATE JOURNAL 609
HIGH SCHOOLS
It is very dufficult to secure accurate information concerning the scope of
high school instruction in North Carolina, since so many schools, not even
prepared to give good instruction in elementary subjects, attempt to give in
addition one or more years of high school instruction. The report for 1918-19
shows 564 schools of all sorts attempting to give such instruction. For 1919-20
we are able to secure information from 455 schools that seek to give one or
more years of high school instruction. From a thorough study these seem
to embrace practically all that are really prepared to give any high school
instruction.
A good four year high school, however, cannot be conducted with less
than three teachers. There are 214 such schools in the State. The total
enrollment in these is 22,140 and the number completing a four year course
is 2,536. This is 11^% of the total enrollment.
In addition to these there are 241 one-teacher high schools seeking to give
four year courses.. The enrollment in these for 1919-20 was 8,728, but the
number completing the four year course was only 726, or about 8f/c of the
total enrollment.
These figures are sufficient proof that the work in the one-teacher and
two-teacher high schools is less effective than in the three-teacher or four-
teacher high schools. Therefore, all one-teacher and two-teacher high schools
should be limited, as a rule, to two years work in order that the instruction
may be more thorough, both in the elementary and high school grades. It
is possible for some two-teacher high schools to give three years of high
school instruction if the elementary grades are well provided for.
SCHOOL BUILDING AND SCHOOLHOVSE PLANNING
The school year 1919-20 is unique also for the extensive building programs
put into operation in the several counties and cities of the State. The outlay
i-n 1919-20 for new buildings, sites and repairs for the past year, as was said
above, was $2,645,515. This is an increase of $1,727,582 over the previous
year. Many counties have adopted a county-wide plan of organizing their
schools and locating new buildings. Likewise many towns and cities have
begun to build for the future and have laid out plans that will take care
of the normal growth of the schools for the several years to come. The
value of the school property has jumped in one year from $16,194,859 to
$24,057,838, and for the first time the value of the city school property passes
that of all the rural schools. The former is $12,080,566, while the latter is
$11,977,272.
One of the greatest needs, therefore, is a director of schoolhouse planning
to give assistance to counties, towns and cities that are rebuilding their
school plants. The State Board of Education was authorized by the last
General Assembly to select a man for this work, and Mr. J. J. Blair, a
student of architecture and school management and an experienced superin-
tendent of schools, was appointed in September. So great has been the de-
mand for assistance that within a period of four months he has visited 21
different towns and communities and has assisted them in planning and
designing new buildings and additions to old buildings, beautifying school
grounds, equipping play grounds, selecting suitable sites and locating build-
ings to the best advantage.
39— Senate
610 SENATE JOUKNAL [Session
It is unwise to continue the policy of allowing isolated rural districts,
without regard to the remainder of the county, to issue bonds for their
special needs while a large number of districts cannot be so organized as
to give the best opportunities to the children. The county should locate and
erect all school buildings outside of the large incorporated towns. If the
State would lend its credit to a six million dollar bond issue, amounts as
they are needed could be loaned to counties for a period of not more than
.20 years; one-twentieth together with the accrued interest could be repaid
annually out of the school fund. Such a bond issue would not cost the
State a cent, but would provide funds for all the counties at a considerable
saving, not only in interest but in material and construction. It would re-
duce the annual tax levy, .since as a rule the counties now must pay as they
go. But the amount raised in any one year is not sufficient to provide for an
adequate county-wide plan. The rural schools then could be consolidated
and the buildings erected where needed. The State Director of Schoolhouse
Planning could supervise not only the plans but the location and erection
of buildings in such way as to provide for all the children.
This is one of the greatest needs in the State, and the building of strong
community centers is dependent upon some such plan.
THE COUNTY-WIDE PLAN OF ADMINISTRATION AND CONSOLIDATION OF DISTRICTS
The new school law of 1919 expressly stated that no new school districts
should be created in such a way as to increase the total number of school
districts in a given county. Superintendents were urged to organize their
schools with reference to a county-wide plan. As a result the number of
one-teacher schools has been reduced to 263 in one year. The number of
schools having two teachers has increased in one year from 2,102 to 2,243, and
those having three or more teachers from 993 to 1,163. This has been brought
about by consolidation and increased enrollment. As a result, it has been
necessary to transport pupils that live further than two or two and one-half
miles from school.
The total number of trucks employed in the State last year was 247.
These transported 7,936 pupils to school. Five years ago there were only six
trucks employed in the State and they transported only 150 pupils. This
is another evidence of the rapid progress being made in organizing the
rural schools in such a way as to produce the large community centers.
If trained teachers can be secured for these large consolidated schools, they
will soon have strong high schools. But the children must first be raised to
the high school grades.
THE MOVING PICTURE IN THE RURAL COMMUNITY
In order to make the school the community center and give many of the
same advantages to the rural children that the city children possess. the
State authorized the establishment of the Bureau of Community Service,
with a moving picture outfit. It now possesses 19 full time county systems,
employing 42 people for the entire year. It has a circulation of 553 reels of
films.
A county unit makes a circuit of the schools and remains in a county
as long as it is needed. Each regular program is made up of six reels,
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 611
two of which treat of dramatic or historical subjects; two of purely educa-
tional value; and two of good, clean comedy for amusement and recreation.
In connection with this community service the workers give instruction
in Junior Citizenship, the students being tested for, (1) physical fitness;
(2) intellectual fitness; (3) vocational fitness; and (4) social fitness.
At the end of a given period those who are qualified from these four
standpoints are given certificates called "'Junior Citizenship Certificates."
This is the end of the first year of this training for citizenship. But
during the past year 8S4 boys and 848 girls were candidates for these
certificates. In order to make this work more effective it is necessary to
have a whole time director of physical education to give special super-
vision to it. As an evidence of the popularity of this department 25
counties have been served; 633 communities have been reached; 4,055
meetings have been held; 632 classes in games and plays have been con-
ducted; 661 community song services have been conducted; $4,569 have
been raised in these meetings for playground equipment and other school
improvement; and 428,753 people have attended these community meetings.
COMMUNITY SCHOOLS FOR ADULT ILLITERATES
The General Assembly of 1919 made the schools for adult illiterates,
heretofore known as Moonlight Schools, a part of the public school system,
in order that they may be organized on a permanent plane and given the
same importance in the school system that any other school has. As a
result, during the year 1919-20 52 counties organized schools for adults
and had regular employed workers. The total number of schools taught
was 272. The length of a school term is considered one month. There were
184 different teachers employed in teaching these schools. The enrollment of
adult illiterates was 5,580 and the average age of adult illiterates taught was
27 years. The cost of the instruction in these schools is borne one-half by
the State and the other half by the county or the community. The total
amount spent for teaching illiterates last year was $16,047. The State paid
one-half of this amount and of the remainder $1,440 was contributed by
private individuals, the balance being paid by the county.
Several towns have employed from two to five workers. They visit the
homes and give instruction there or bring the adults together in some
central place. The State Department has prepared a special reader and
other texts to be used in these schools. The total cost of instruction per pupil
is not as high as the instruction per pupil in the regular school system. The
chief reason is that they learn to read within a shorter time and cease to
become students at school. Where the area is large enough to have a strong
community school it is easy to make a program that will reach not only all
the children but the adults of the community.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
The large rural school is becoming a great factor in helping to remake
the rural communities and to make strong centers where the citizens may
come together in a cooperative way, not only in building the school but in
remaking the community.
612 SENATE JOURNAL [Session
The total number of high schools teaching agriculture is 42; 13 of these
were established last year. Students in these schools are required to cultivate
a small plot of ground or tend some animal on his father's farm. This
is called project work. In order to give the most intelligent direction to
this work 700 farms around the school were studied last year and the re-
sources were tabulated for the benefit of the teacher of agriculture; 213 white
and 172 colored boys cultivated 491 acres; 301 white and 47 colored boys
had animal projects and cared for 4,184 animals. These kept complete records,
showing an income to them of $41,480, which was more than the State and
Federal Government paid to teach agriculture last year.
The agricultural work is having tremendous effect. It is carefully super-
vised and two values especially are derived from it; one is the value to the
individual and the other the value to the community because the agriculture
teacher devotes twelve months in the year with students and parents. These
schools are serving the communities, and every phase of agricultural life
should be brought into them. Cotton grading, cheese making, fruit growing,
business management, cooperative buying and selling, etc., are necessary,
and the schools should teach these subjects and show the patrons the practical
workings of them.
At the same time home economics is introduced for the girls. Last year
24 such departments were added to the rural or small town schools. This
department means more than simply teaching a little cooking and sewing,
for it takes up the whole question of home making, the practical work of
preparing healthful food and making necessary garments, home decoration,
home conveniences, and the economy side of home-making, such as buying,
proper costs and utilization of materials at hand.
In the mill communities vocational classes have been opened for employees
to carry the special instruction in any purticular subject that may help them
not only in their present work but prepare them for promotion. Last year
74 vocational classes were established in mill communities with an enroll-
ment of 755. Many employees who knew little arithmetic or were barely able
to read and write have been taught. As a result many promotions of em-
ployees have been made possible.
The State has been operating only one year under the new school laws,
enacted by the General Assembly of 1919, and this brief summary of
achievement shows the progress and possibilities.
REPORT OF STATE BOARD OF OPTOMETRY
Greensboro, N C, January 18, 1920.
Governor Cameron Morrison,
Raleigh, N. C.
My Dear Governor: — As provided by law, I am herewith sending you an
annual report of all proceedings during the year 1920 of the North Carolina
State Board of Examiners in Optometry.
This report should have gone in on the first Monday in January, but
owing to unavoidable delay, I trust that you will pardon same, and oblige.
Your very truly,
J. W. Taylor,
Sec. Treas.

Greensboro, N. C, January 12, 1921
To His Excellency, Honorable Cameron Morrison,
Governor of the State of North Carolina:
As provided in chapter 444 of the Public Laws of 1909, and laws amendatory
thereof, the North Carolina State Board of Examiners in Optometry respect-
fully submits to you its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1920.
The board held its annual meeting for the election of officers and the
examination of applicants for licenses to practice optometry in the State of
North Carolina on the 11th day of February, 1920, at Greensboro, N. C. Dr.
A. P. Staley of High Point, N. C, was elected president and Dr. J. W. Taylor
of Greensboro, N. C, was elected secretary and treasurer. There were seven
applicants for licenses to practice optometry, all of whom passed satisfac-
torily the required examination.
A semiannual meeting of the board was held at Wilmington, N. C, on
July 17, 1920, at which time and place four applicants appeared for ex-
amination. Two passed the required examination satisfactorily and two
failed.
During the year, 1920, nine were granted licenses, one was suspended for
the non-payment of renewal fees and there was one death. The total number
new entitled to practice optometry in the State of North Carolina is 190.
There was one prosecution during the year for violation of the law relative
to the practice of optometry in the State.
Moneys received and disbursed during the year 1920 are as follows: —
Total cash received, including 1919 balance $1,421.48
Total disbursements for the year 1920 571.51
Balance on hand and in bank 849.97
J. W. Taylor,
Sec. Treas.
This is to certify that I have carefully examined, in detail, the foregoing
statement of the receipts and disbursements of the North Carolina State
Board of Examiners in Optometry for the year 1920, and that I find the
same to be correct.

REPORT OF PRESIDENT OF NORTH CAROLINA STATE COLLEGE
OF AGRICULTURE AND ENGINEERING
His Excellency, Thomas W. Bickett,
Governor of North Carolina.
Sir: — I respectfully submit herewith the biennial report of the North Caro-
lina State College of Agriculture and Engineering for 1919 and 1920.
The terms of four members of the Board of Trustees expire every two
years. This year the terms of the following members expire:
Mr. W. E. Daniel, Weldon;
Mr. W. H. Ragan, High Point;
Mr. H. L. Stevens, Warsaw;
Mr. A. M. Dixon, Gastonia.
Faculty. — The faculty now consists of 78 members; 26 of these are en-
gaged in teaching agricultural subjects, 21 in engineering subjects, 6 in the
textile school, 7 in chemistry, 7 in mathematics, 5 in English, 1 in modern
languages, 1 in economics and marketing, 4 in military science.
Students. — The total enrollment last session was 1,049, not including the
summer course for demonstration agents, of whom there were 77. The
enrollment this session is considerably in excess of that of the corresponding
period of last session. The number enrolled to date is 970, and should reach
1,100 by the end of the session. These figures do not include the farm dem-
onstration agents, 80 of whom were given short courses during the summer;
nor the Summer School, in which there was an enrollment of 671. Nor do
they include the club boys, who were here for a few days' instruction.
The students during last session were divided among the various courses
as follows:
Agriculture 359
Civil engineering 116
Electrical engineering 171
Mechanical engineering 174
Chemistry 38
Textile industry 169
Special 22
The students of the present session will be divided among the different
courses in about the same proportion as last session.
A large percentage (nearly half) of the students' fathers are reported as
farmers; about 10 per cent as merchants; while the others are divided among
a great number of occupations and professions.
Eleven States, in addition to North Carolina, and two foreign countries are
represented in the student body. Ninety-three of the one hundred counties
have representation, varying from fifty-five to one student. The counties
having the largest representation are as follows:
Wake, 55; Mecklenburg, 42; Guilford, 37; Robeson, 30; Buncombe, 24;
Halifax, 21; Vance, 20; Cleveland, Randolph and Gaston, J.9 each; Iredell, 16;
Forsyth and Catawba, 15 each; Caldwell, Rockingham, Surry, Union and
Wilkes, 13 each; Cabarrus, 'Johnston, Lincoln, Rowan, Sampson and Wayne,
12 each; Alamance, Anson, Granville, Stanly and Wilson, 11 each; Cumber-
land, Davidson, Richmond and Scotland, 10 each.
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 623
Scholarships. — The Legislature has allowed the trustees to give 120 general
scholarships, and 120 additional scholarships to agricultural students on
condition that the holders farm or teach agriculture in the State for two
years following their graduation. These scholarships provide free tuition
only, and have been of much assistance to needy young men, especially those
who are preparing to farm.
In lieu of four scholarships formerly given, the Southern Railway has
donated to the College the sum of $1,000, to be known as the William Wilson
Finley Foundation, which may be loaned to needy students wishing to
study agriculture.
Textile scholarships are given by individuals and corporations as follows:
Ten Aberfoyle scholarships by Aberfoyle Manufacturing Co., Chester, Pa.;
one Chadwick-Haskins Scholarship by Chadwick-Haskins Co., Charlotte;
one Harriss Scholarship by W. W. Harriss, New York City; one Tolar, Hart
and Holt Scholarship by Tolar, Hart and Holt Mills, Fayetteville, N. C;
one Miller Scholarship by R. M. Miller. Jr., Charlotte, N. C.
Extension. — Acting under the authority of an act passed by the Legislature
of 1913, the experimental and extension work of the College and of the
State Department of Agriculture was consolidated, and this work is now
conducted under a joint committee of the two boards. This action was taken
to give greater unity to the forces working for the agricultural uplift of
the State, to prevent any duplication of effort, and to make the funds of the
two institutions go as far as possible. All the officials of the United States
Department of Agriculture who work in North Carolina also act in coopera-
tion with the joint committee. Hence, there is no overlapping in the work
of agricultural agencies.
The experimental and extension service is supported (1) by the funds
which the College received from the Federal Government for experiment
stations and from the Smith-Lever Act; (2) by appropriations from the State
Department of Agriculture; (3) by funds from the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture; and (4) by direct appropriations from the State.
Under this agreement a great number of trained men and women are de-
voting their time to the solution of problems that will help the farmers and
farm women of the State. The extension and demonstration work has for its
object the transmission to the farmers and their wives on their own farms
of such information as will enable them to improve their methods of farming
and thus produce larger crops at less cost, and at the same time build up
their soil by proper fertilization, cultivation and rotation of crops; and to
aid the farm wife by helpful suggestions in home-making, labor-saving de-
vices, and sanitation. In ninety-two counties demonstration agents go from
farm to farm and from home to home in a systematic round of instruction
to the farmers, and seventy-four women give their time to the teaching of
domestic economy, including canning of fruits and vegetables, cooking, and
general home science arts.
The boys' corn clubs, the girls' canning clubs, and the young people's
swine and poultry clubs are all conducted by these extension workers. The
increased production among farmers, who collaborate with these agents and
the large yields made by boys in the clubs and the canning output of the
girls attest the efficiency of these workers. The members of the experimental
and extension divisions also aid in forming and conducting many agricultural
624 SENATE JOURNAL [Session
organizations in the State. Through its extension service the College is
touching helpfully the lives of at least three-fourths of the State's population.
In order that the State may continue to receive the benefits of the Smith-
Lever fund for extension, there must be appropriated from some source
within the State the sum of $118,588.70 for each of the years beginning July
1, 1921, and July 1, 1922, these amounts being necessary to offset the amounts
appropriated by the Federal Government. This fund cannot be used by the
College for teaching or equipment, and should not be considered as a part
of its regular appropriation. In fact, the extension fund is to some extent a
liability rather than an asset to the College, since there are some considerable
items of expense connected with it which cannot be paid out of this fund,
and have to be paid out of the regular College appropriation. In view of
the great good that has been accomplished by this extension work during the
past two years, and the enormous field of opportunity for the future, we
feel that the Legislature will not fail to make proper provisions for its con-
tinuance.
Summer Cowses. — The summer training school for the farm demonstration
agents in the various counties has been continued during the past two sum-
mers. The Federal Government pays the expenses of these men for two or
more weeks of attendance at these schools. The teaching is done without
compensation by the regular agricultural professors. Those attending live in
the College buildings and board in the College dining hall.
The One Week Course for club boys has been continued. These boys
were taught by the agricultural teachers of the College and some teachers
from the State agricultural high schools. There was great enthusiasm
among those who attended, and we look for continued and increasing interest
in these courses.
Immediately following this course for club boys, the Farmers' and Farm
Women's Convention was held at the College, at which there was an attend-
ance of more than fifteen hundred farm women and men.
The State Department of Agriculture cooperated with the College in hold-
ing this convention, which was the 19th annual session, and this assistance
has enabled us to enlarge the scope of the convention and greatly increase
its attendance. I am quite sure that at no previous meeting have so many
or such representative men and women been in attendance. The College was
taxed to its utmost capacity and a great many had to secure rooms outside
the College grounds. One of the most interesting features of the convention
was a demonstration of farm tractors and conveniences for the farm home.
Those present cannot have failed to gain much valuable information.
The Summer School for Teachers was continued, and has been an unquali-
fied success. The enrollment for the past summer was 671. Teachers were
instructed in every subject pertaining to the public school work of the State,
special emphasis being put upon agricultural and industrial branches, in
order to prepare men and women to teach agriculture in the rural schools
of the State.
The College plant has been kept busy throughout the year.
At the beginning of the year 1917 there was established at the College a
unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps provided for in the National
Defense Act of the Sixty-fourth Congress. Under this law our students are
furnished commutation for uniforms by the General Government during
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 625
their freshman and sophomore years, provided they drill three hours per week.
Members of the junior and senior classes who elect to continue this drill,
and also to take two hours per week recitation in military science, are fur-
nished commutation for uniforms and, in addition, receive from the Federal
Government about $150 per session. It is believed that this enabled a great
many boys to attend the College who could not otherwise have done so.
In September, 1918, at the request of the War Department, the R. 0. T. C.
was temporarily abandoned, and a unit of the Students Army Training Corps
established in its place. This simply meant that the Government comman-
deered the College, with all its equipment of men and materials, for the
purpose of training officers for its armies.
We cannot say what the result would have been. There was considerable
confusion at first; but everything had begun to run smoothly, and I believe
the College was making good at its new work, when the armistice was
signed on November 11th. This, of course, made the further training of
student soldiers unnecessary, and the S. A. T. C. was demobilized by the
middle of December.
The College went back to its regular courses of instruction at the begin-
ning of 1919 and re-established its unit of the R. O. T. C. There was, of
course, a serious interruption of its regular work, but the College could
not do otherwise than enter military service when needed, as did millions
of individuals.
A partial summary of the records of our students in the World War and
an account of the distressing influenza epidemic during the fall term of
1918 were given in my last report. Further information obtained since
that time shows that the number of our alumni and students in service
was about 35% of the total enrollment of the College since its foundation.
There was a slight recurrence of influenza during the spring term of 1920,
in which there were about fifty cases, but few, if any, were serious and
none fatal. In all other respects, the health of our students has been
exceptionally good.
Since the armistice, the College has been going through a period of
readjustment, marked by a certain degree of restlessness and apparent in-
ability on the part of many students to do earnest and consistent work.
The number of students reentering the College after discharge from
military service was much larger than had been expected; and while
many were able to readjust themselves to student life, and take up their
studies where they left off, others could not do so, and gave up after
a short trial.
Under a contract with a Federal Board of Vocational Education the
College is giving vocational training to about one hundred and twenty-five
partially disabled soldiers. The physical condition and poor preparation of
many of these men make it rather difficult to give them proper instruction,
but the College seems to be succeeding with them as well as could be
expected. The Federal board pays the College liberally for teaching these
men, and they are no burden on its finances.
We have been able to admit only about one-third of the State's disabled
soldiers who are ready to come, and those here are overcrowding the
capacity of the College and preventing the admission of regular students.
No other institution in the State is prepared to give this training, and
40 — Senate
626 SENATE JOURNAL [Session
even though many of these men are unprepared for regular college work,
our board of trustees thought they were entitled to some share in the
benefits of the College.
The majority of them are studying agriculture, each being required to
specialize in that branch in which his particular individual disability will
least interfere with his success. The Federal board estimates that this
work will need to be continued about four years.
Frankly, the rapid increase in the number of students wishing to enter
the College since the war has been a great surprise, in view of the
disorganized condition of the secondary schools throughout the State.
From an enrollment of 552 for the session of 1917-18, the number in-
creased to 1,050 in 1919-20, which was considerably above the real capacity
of the College. The enrollment of the present session would have been
much larger had the College been able to accommodate all applicants.
The number applying for admission next session will undoubtedly be
greater, and still greater the year following, while the number of new
students that can be admitted will be less each year on account of the
greater number of upper classmen.
Needs of the Institution. — It is evident that the College cannot properly
care for and instruct even its present number of students, to say nothing
of future growth, unless there is expansion of its facilities in every direction.
There must be more teachers, more dormitories, more class-rooms and
laboratories, a larger dining hall, a gymnasium, and a larger appropriation
for maintenance. A summary of the urgent needs of the College, the
details of which have been presented to the Budget Commission, is as follows:
Agricultural Extension building $275,000
Six dormitories to accommodate 500 students 480,000
Completion of Mechanical Engineering building 120,000
Laundry 20,000
Oil Mill building 20,000
Boiler house, heating mains, and sewerage extension 75,000
Five cottages for farm laborers 6,000
Enlarging of dining room, kitchen, serving room, bakery
and cold storage 200,000
Gymnasium, Auditorium and Armory 300,000
Agricultural Engineering building 50,000
Costs are based on the estimates of the State Architect.
The above is presented as a two-year building program and provides only
the most immediate and pressing needs of the College, allowing an increase
of two hundred students each year, which we think is about as rapidly as
the College can grow with safety.
As this growth occurs, which seems now to be certain, succeeding
legislatures will be asked to provide the necessary increase in buildings
and equipment.
Several departments now using buildings jointly will,, in the near future,
need separate buildings; for example, the Departments of Chemistry,
Physics, Mathematics, English, Horticulture, Biology, Economics, Vocational
Education, and the Experiment Station. These buildings will be asked for
as the imperative need for them arises.
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 627
The present appropriation for the maintenance of the College is $150,000
a year, which I must say is all the Legislature of 1919 was asked to
appropriate. At that time the war had just closed and it was the general
opinion that commodity prices would decline. Basing their opinion on this
assumption and not expecting any rapid increase in students, our board of
trustees estimated that this amount would be sufficient. Contrary to expecta-
tion, however, prices continued to rise, there was a large increase in registra-
tion, and it was absolutely necessary to make a substantial increase in the
salaries of teachers and other employes.
For these reasons, the College faces a deficit of about $60,000, as indicated
in its report to the Budget Commission.
In order to meet this deficit, to prevent its recurrence, and to provide the
necessary expansion in teaching force and equipment, an increase of $125,000
in annual appropriation is imperative — from $150,000 to $275,000 a year.
The financial statement for the two years ending June 30, 1920, is appended.
Respectfully submitted,
W. C. Riddick,
President.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE THE
SENATE EXPENDITURES AND A RESOLUTION REPEALING RULE
NO. 46 AND INSERTING A NEW RULE NO. 46.
To the Senate.
Mr. President: — We, the undersigned heretofore appointed a Special
Committee to Investigate Senate Expenditures, beg leave to make the fol-
lowing report:
1. That the number of employees of the present Senate, including com-
mittee clerks, stenographers, laborers and messengers, is seventy, as per
list hereto attached.
2. That thirty-nine employees should be distributed as follows:
Principal Clerk's assistants 10
Engrossing Clerk's assistants 2
Laborers 10
Committee clerks 10
Pages 6
Messengers to Principal Clerk 1
We recommend that ten committee clerks be so distributed as to allow a
clerk to each of the committees that are required to perform continuous
duties and that the remaining number be apportioned each to two or more
committees whose work can be so coordinated as to prevent confusion and
conflict, and that all committee clerks be selected with reference to clerical
and stenographic ability as may be required by the necessities of the par-
ticular committee served, provided that no more than thirty-nine be appointed.
We recommend further that the principal clerk be required to select his
own assistants, so that he may have not only the responsibility, but full
control, of the dispatch of business in his department.
We further recommend that the rules be so amended as to carry out these
purposes, hence we suggest the following rule in lieu of Rule 46:
634 SENATE JOUKNAL [Session
"46. The President of the Senate shall, in order to expedite the public busi-
ness, determine the committees that are entitled to an individual clerk
and the committees that are entitled to a joint clerk, the total number of
clerks not to exceed ten, and after a consultation with the chairman of the
committee entitled to a clerk, as herein provided, appoint clerks to the
said committees.

SENATE RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR CONDUCTING THE BUSINESS
OF THE SENATE IN A MORE ECONOMICAL MANNER
Whereas, The report of the Budget Commission shows that there was paid

Senators themselves received: Therefore,
Be it Resolved by the Senate:
First. That a committee of three Senators be appointed by the President
of the Senate, whose duty it shall be to immediately investigate and ascer-
tain the number and names of Senate employees, including clerks, pages,

Second. That it shall be the duty of said committee to investigate and
inquire into the actual needs of the Senate and its committees, and recom-
mend to the President of the Senate the number of clerks, pages, stenographers,
typists and other laborers that are necessary for carrying on the business of
the Senate in a proper and business-like manner, and that the said committee
recommend to the President of the Senate that the services of those em-
ployees who are not necessary for the proper and efficient transaction of
the business of the Senate be dispensed with.
Third. If at any future time during this session it should become necessary
to employ additional clerks, stenographers, typists, or other help, the Presi-
dent of the Senate is hereby authorized and empowered to do so upon the
written request of the committee herein authorized, which request shall
certify that the services of the person or persons to be employed is necessary
for the proper conduct of the business of the Senate or its committees.
636 SENATE JOUKNAL [Session

naming the committees that shall be entitled to clerical assistance.
Adopted January 27, 1921.
REPORT OF JOINT COMMITTEE ON THE PART OF THE SENATE AND
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, HERETOFORE APPOINTED TO
VISIT THE SOLDIERS' HOME, AND MAKE REPORT OF THE CON-
DITION THEREOF.
To the Senate and House of Representatives :
The Joint Committee provided for in a joint resolution to visit the Soldiers'
Home at Raleigh, North Carolina, and make report on the condition thereof,
respectfully report to your honorable bodies:
That on February 25th we visited the Soldiers' Home and made an in-
spection thereof. We find that the roofs on Hoke Cottage, Grimes Cottage,
Andrews Cottage, Branch Cottage, D. H. Hill Cottage, Vance Building
(east dormitory), Vance Building (west dormitory), Superintendent's home
and office, dining room and kitchen, and Hospital, are in bad repair and
leak. We further find that the ceiling and walls of all of the above-mentioned
buildings are in bad repair, and that the flooring of many of the buildings
and porches are in bad repair. We further find that all the above buildings
should be painted inside and out.
We further find that the heating plant is totally inadequate. So much so
that the buildings are not properly heated, and an excessive quantity of
coal is consumed by reason of the fact that the plant has to be operated
beyond its capacity.
We further find that there are no facilities whatever for hot water, the
hot-water plant being totally out of repair and unusable.
We further find that the plumbing and sanitary arrangements are inade-
quate, in bad repair and condition, and fail to supply the needs of the Home.
We further find that the fence surrounding the garden is down, and that
the garden produce is subject to depredations.
We further find that there are no laundry facilities, in consequence of
which all the laundering has to be done out of the Home, resulting in a loss
of clothing and in excessive high cost.
Generally speaking, the physical condition of the buildings, heating plant,
water supply, etc., is deplorable, and unless extensive repairs are made the
rapid deterioration of the buildings and plant will continue, resulting in
suffering on the part of the inmates and the practical destruction of same.
On account of the limited time at our disposal, we made no investigation
as to the treatment of the inmates, as to food, clothing, etc. Your Committee
did not feel that they could make an adequate investigation along these lines,
and preferred to make none at all rather than go into such investigation
with full knowledge that it could not be complete.
In the limited time at our disposal we were not able to get accurate esti-
mates as to the cost of doing that which was necessary. However, General
Julian S. Carr, in anticipation of our visit, has caused an estimate to be
1921] SENATE JOURNAL 637
made as to the repairing of the roofs, ceilings, walls, paint, and a few toilet
facilities, which was placed at our disposal. This estimate was made by
Superintendent J. A. Wiggs, who is a practical carpenter — this, Superintendent
Wiggs stated to your Committee, estimate was made by him after a careful
examination and calculation.
According to this estimate it will take about fourteen thousand dollars to
repair the ro^is, ceilings, walls, and paint the buildings, and also build a
fence around the premises.
Superintendent Wiggs also advises us that in his judgment the sum of ten
thousand dollars will put in an adequate heating plant, do the necessary
plumbing and provide hot water, provided the salvage of the present heating
plant is used in connection therewith.
There is a building on the premises which can be converted into a laundry
by the putting in of a cement floor and the purchase of the necessary ma-
chinery. It is estimated that this will cost approximately four thousand
dollars.
Your Committee earnestly and urgently recommend that an appropriation
not to exceed thirty-two thousand five hundred dollars be immediately made
and put at the disposal of the directors to the end that the work may be
begun and finished as early as possible.
We further recommend that this sum be put at the disposal of the
Directors, to be expended by them with the approval of the Governor.
In conclusion, your Committee most earnestly and urgently recommend that
the appropriation be made, as the conditions are really deplorable. All the
buildings leak, and the inmates have to move from place to place in an
endeavor to keep dry in rainy weather. We think that with the improvements
recommended made that the inmates will be more comfortable, and that the
duty which the State owes to them will in a small measure be met. It might
not be unwise to provide a small appropriation to be expended by the Di-
rectors in providing more recreations for the inmates, but this would have to
be an annual appropriation, and your Committee is not satisfied that the
duties imposed upon them included any recommendation as to an annual
appropriation.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
W. S. Walker,
S. Gallert,
On the part of the Senate.
H. G. Connor, Jr.,
W. R. Matthews,
Chas. H. Cowles,
On the part of the House.
